Deborah Anne Peterson is grateful for her loving family, loyal friends, and the peaceful Georgia town that has sheltered her since childhood. But most of all, she gives thanks to God for giving her a phenomenal voice. Every time Deborah sings her heart out in church, she's transported by spiritual joy and a secret dream of superstardom that glorifies God before people all over the world. Her dream seems hopeless . . . until handsome rapper and hometown-boy-made-good Triage Blue hears her sing. With Triage's help, Deborah's demo tape lands on the desk of Lavelle Roberts, one of the R&B industry's biggest stars. Before she knows it, Deborah is hired as one of Lavelle's glamorous backup singers--and is plunged into a lifestyle far beyond her small-town ways. Under the guidance of sultry singer Phoebe Garland, Deborah finds herself at the hottest parties, wearing incredibly fancy clothes, and making more money than she'd ever thought possible. In the midst of all the excitement, she discovers that her gratitude and affection for the down-to-earth Triage is blossoming into something more. Yet in a world where having it all is never enough and mega-talent can't shield you from loneliness and pain, Deborah is about to face challenges she never imagined. Through the sheer, backbreaking work of touring--and dealing with out-of-control egos--she must work harder than ever to put aside time for personal prayer and worship. Tested by the temptations of the road, and of Triage himself, Deborah must struggle to hold fast to her faith. And through fame's darkest, most dangerous passages, when unprecedented commercial success as a solo artist depends on putting her most precious values at risk, she must search deep within herself to uncover her deepest desires . . . and make a choice about God's place in her life.

With all of the chaos, confusion, and uncertainty of life, we all need to know of the blessed assurances that God has for our lives. 
Blessed Assurance is an enjoyable, empowering, engaging, and encouraging example of the everlasting truth that God can move us from heartache to healing, burden to blessings, depression to deliverance, and from trials to triumphs. 
 Fast-paced, witty, entertaining, and inspirational, the writings are modern day renditions of biblical stories. 
In the short story, The Best of Everything, based on Hannah, you gain a better level of appreciation and thankfulness for what God has already done in your life, which will provide you with strength to endure in the midst of a crisis as well as give you patience as you await new blessings. Lust and Lies, based on Samson and Delilah, reminds us of the temptations of lust, the importance of honesty, the dangers of sin and the significance of repentance. Traveling Mercies, based on the parable of the Good Samaritan, teaches us not to place limitations on how and through whom God may send a blessing, and our responsibility to help people whom we often do not know. 
 Baby Blues, based on Abraham and Sarah, lets us better understand the importance of timing, patience, and consequences of operating in God s permissive will versus God s perfect will for our lives. A Sprig of Hope, based on Tamar, acknowledges that tragedy, sadness and betrayal are an unfortunate part of life, and yet ultimately there is healing, restoration and happiness if you place your trust in God. Sword of the Lord, based on Jephthah, confirms that your past can t define you if you give your future to God and that everyone at some time or another needs to forgive.
